Hi jason, i have a question concerning tone. I have recently started to experiment on different amps but i get a kind of skwaky thin tone on the bends from the holes 3 and upwards. Is this due to my technique, hamronica or amps? i use special 20's which i think sound good acoustic, from my perspective anyway. I would appreciate your help, thanks skunk.

I would defintly try ropping your jaw when you play some more, and trying to create a bigger, wider, more relaxed chamber, ou'll hear without the amp first! If not try turning the treble down.

Hi - Which is the best Boss Oc -2 to use as a pedal for Blues Harp is it the Japan black label one or are they all the same also is it true they can be used to cut feedback as well as for extra kick - Im thinking of buying one but i do not want to buy a new one only to find out the old one is best

[jasonricci]

I wish I know They may be the same...sorry I suck...

Jason, I play on a Marble Harmaster with an integrated anti-feedback circuit by the manufacturer. It does a good job. I don't have to worry about feedback anymore and it still goes loud !

[wimharp]

Hi Jason, where do you plug in your effect pedals ? Rigtht in the microphone input of the amp ? Or is there an effect input in the amp ?

Hey J!

Got a Sonic Stomp yesterday. Man what a great piece of kit. Amazing how much better the amp sounds now! Thanks for the heads up on it. You da man! :-)

Man Daddy! If you find a better solution than the Kinder LET ME KNOW! I'm under No endorsement with them and have been searching. unfortunatly John's the best, a great guy and his stuff is worth the money so I haven't been looking too hard to give you an answer. Sorry, and I hear you on the compression concerning other instruments argument...

[daddyrichispoor]

thanks for clarifying that. I'm just used to compressors in non-harpish settings(studio, guitar, ect.)

Also, this may help a bunch of folks, I noticed the Kinder anti-feedback is a little pricey (i'm sure it's well worth it and totally justified)

If say someone is on a tighter budget just starting out, is there any other pedal or rack gear you may recommend as say a "Poor man's" anti feedback pedal / solution?

[jasonricci]

The compressor certainly reduces feedback. Balances the highs mids and lows nicely and evens everythin out.

Great!!!
